Top 10 greatest field hockey players

Telegraph Sport canvassed hockey journalists from Australia, England and Pakistan for their definitive list of the top 10 men and women of all time. The results were totted up and - with the 2014 World Cup in The Hague being a men's and women's event - a combined list was drawn up. It is important to note that some journalists declined to take part on the grounds of fairness in compiling such a list, while others factored in that the game has transgressed hugely from an amateur one to the highly professional model today.
